aut-ord-co Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Dixie TriggerMan Many thanks for the kind comments. As you said, these WWII cities and towns were the backbone of the nation's war supply. Bridgeport also had, among many more plants, Remington Arms which manufactured a staggering amount of ammunition and General Electric which made bazookas, heated flight suits, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aut-ord-co Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Time for a bump for those who missed the first couple of go-arounds. Again, thanks for the positive comments and interest, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwl Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Bill------I've tried to order your book, but the web site will not let me even do an order. Maybe its my limited computer skills. Is all OK with the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aut-ord-co Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 wwl I received a new order last night just after midnight and all seem to be ok. I went through an order buy myself to check it out (Saturday 8:01AM, 6/6/15) and all seemed fine. Sorry you're having trouble. I've had some mail order buys if you want to go that route. Send PM.

wwl Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Bill---------------I got the site to work but it would not accept my Visa. Will any be for sale at the TATA show in Ohio? I will try to call you to see if I can do a phone order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD. Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Bill told me at the TCA Show that every time this thread went back to the top of the Board he sold a book or two. Don't disappoint!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Another great Thompson book that deserves another round at the top of the Board. This is a must have for your Thompson library. Did you know Auto-Ordnance Corporation Vice-President Frederic Willis was Russell Maguire's best man at his 1942 wedding? I didn't either...until I read Bill's book!

rpbcps Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Bill was kind enough to send me an signed copy before Christmas that I only had a chance to briefly thumb through. So looking forward to getting back to the UK tomorrow to read through it in more detail, together with a copy of 'American Thunder III', which should be on its way to my address in the UK. So plenty of reading ahead for me. Stay safeRichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD. Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I was looking at this book last night. It deserves another bump to the top for our new Board members. A must have for every Thompson enthusiast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aut-ord-co Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yes a bump is overdue. The Christmas season is here. Someone needs an Auto-Ordnance gift. The book is available at: aocbridgeportetc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aut-ord-co Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Since I'm old and slow, (lol) I'm taking my cue from Tom and bumping this back to the top. I have several copies available of "The Auto-Ordnance Corporation: The People - Who They Were, Where They Worked, What They Made" . The website to order from is: aocbridgeportetc.com The cost is $49.95 plus shipping. Again, they make good Christmas gifts when it's hard to find something different for the Thompson collector or WWII history buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 We have many new Board members since this thread about Bill's book has been to the top of the Board. There are not many informative books about the Auto-Ordnance Corporation based on new research with never before published information. Put this book at the top of the list - a great addition to any library! If you're looking for a new Thompson book, give this one a review at Bill's website. You will not be disappointed.
